James Montgomery (4 November 1771 – 30 April 1854) was a Scottish-born hymn writer, poet, and editor who eventually settled in Sheffield. He was raised in the Moravian Church and theologically trained there, so that his writings often reflect concern for humanitarian causes, such as the abolition of slavery and the exploitation of child chimney sweeps.
